It is taken from Professor Raymond Calvel's "Taste of Bread". Pre-ferment should be mixed in advance (temp from mixer 25°) and rested for 3h minimum (at 25°) or 16h minimum refrigerated (at 4°). It should be mixed for 4 minutes at first speed and 3 minutes at second speed. Note that he specifies between 1-2% yeast, which I have averaged to 1.5%. I would assume this can be changed to account for your schedule and environment. """ [ingredients] white-flour = 100 water = 69 yeast = 1.5 salt = 2
